Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

18:11 they dealt proudly. This is the first mention in the Bible of the sin of pride, and it is significant that it is referring to the primeval sin of “the gods”–that is, the supposed deities of the pagan nations. The first sin was that of Lucifer, or Satan, who aspired to dethrone God (Isaiah 14:12-15; I Timothy 3:6).
